New beer — the name is a secret — Mr. Uchimura — 15 seconds

Teruyoshi Uchimura of the comedy duo Ucchan Nanchan is drinking KIRIN’s new beer.

It looks like the new name is written in the background, but Mio Imada, who serves as the narrator, stops him from saying it.

Their exchange—Uchimura insisting, “Just one character…” and Imada firmly replying, “No”—is quite charming.

The commercial features a bossa nova-style arrangement of THE BOOM’s 1995 hit ‘Kaze ni Naritai’ (I Want to Be the Wind).

The breezy, refreshing song is perfect for a spring ad!

Nivea Kao has released new commercials for Nivea Mild Acidic Foaming Face Wash, including the “I’m not choosing?” version, featuring Miwako Kakei and Maria Tani.

This commercial expresses, through a lighthearted song, how NIVEA’s mildly acidic foaming face wash addresses common skincare concerns.

It portrays the worries of Miwako Kakei and Maria Tani as they look at their reflections in the mirror, and conveys that NIVEA provides the solution.

The song, serving as both a confession of their concerns and a pathway to resolution, is a parody of Doburokku’s “Moshikashite Dakedo.” Centered on the breezy sound of an acoustic guitar that recalls the original track, the music unfolds into an airy arrangement.

Layered with lyrics that convey thoughtful ideas about facial cleansing, it creates a positive, uplifting mood.
